What the Crap Society
Location
I love to read
I CAN'T READ
half of a page out load
and it make any sense.
I read a 600 page book
in one day.
I am really good at math.
I CAN'T DO MATH
like 16 times 8 in my
head in 10 seconds.
I scored advance
on every math EOI.
I am dyslexic.
I CAN'T SPELL DYSLEXIC
correctly the first time
without pausing to think.
I am the top
of my class.
I am dyslexic. But.
I AM WHITE, AND PRIVELEGED,
AND I HAVE A 4.0
so you do not readily believe me.
What the CRAP society?
You told me to be successful.
You told me that to be successful
I needed to be good
at things I would never use.
You told me that I was bad
at these thing I needed
to know that I would never use.
So I learned how to do them.
So I learned how to do them well.
So I learned how to be great at them.
And I became successful.
And now you look down on me
for being successful.
You are angry at me for overcoming.
You tell my peers,
your unsuccessful minions that
I DO NOT DESERVE TO BE SUCCESSFUL,
that I AM WHITE and PRIVILEGED
and that I HAVE A 4.0
That I think I am better than them.
WHAT THE CRAP SOCIETY?
I thought I was trying to please you,
By becoming better at un-useful things,
To be what you said I needed.
But now you are angry with me,
Because I believed the wrong LIE.
I BELIEVED THAT I WAS BROKEN
instead of believing that I couldn't be fixed.
what.
the.
crap.
